Like Reel said, proper tongue weight is important. I keep mine between 200-300 lbs. and have no problems towing at highway speeds (or slightly above). Brakes are just as important to me since I do tow with my Jeep Cherokee, which, like Ferm said, can be a white knuckle experience due to it's light weight. You have to try several different setups to see which one works the best. Once it's dialed in for your vehicle you'll find that long distance trailering is no more of a problem than going to the corner deli.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God) 
Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
